Guess Ugly Aur Pagli is turning out to one film
where the leading actors are not worried at all
about the joke being on them. So much so that even
the film's title doesn't spare them and calls out
the leading lady as mad and the man as ugly looking!
The actors in question? Ranvir Shorey and Mallika
Sherawat, the unlikeliest of couples, just as was in
case of PNC's last romantic comedy Pyaar Ke Side
Effects.
This time around, it is Anu Malik at the helm of
affairs and one hopes that he gets it right yet
again after his recent release Love Story 2050.
Amitabh Verma gets one of his biggest assignments
till date with an entire album to his credit. |

Talli!... |
|
Singer(s):
Mika, Hard Kaur, Anmol Malik |
|
|
Well, is it indeed Anu Malik or instead Pritam who
is at the helm of affairs here? That's because the
moment the opening number 'Talli' begins, you know
that the new age club sound is clearly belonging to
Pritam territory. Add to this Hard Kaur coming up
with her English-Punjabi rendition and you know that
it is going to be one fun outing.
Well, this is not all as Mika Singh joins soon along
with |
|
 |
|
|
Anmol Malik, Anu's daughter, and together they have
total 'dhamaal' in the offering. A dance floor
number that has Ranvir, Mallika and Hard Kaur
matching steps while being in high spirits, 'Talli'
is an instant winner and makes an immediate
impression in the very first listening. And 'sone pe
suhaga' is the 'remix version' that ensures that the
tempo of Ugly Aur Pagli remains consistent from
start till the finish of the album. |

|
Karle Gunaah.. |
|
Singer(s):
Ishq Bector, Anushka Manchand |
| |
Ishq Bector, who is fast rising up in Bollywood's
rap-n-reggae scene, comes along with Anushka
Manchanda for 'Karle Gunaah'. As it turns out, this
is second straight winner for Anu Malik who goes
holds-no-bar to create a club song, which just goes
perfectly with the urban requirements of the film.
While Bector kick starts the proceedings, Anushka
holds fort for most of the song's duration with her
Punjabi rendition.
Yet another dance number which keeps the high
spirits of the album on while giving an overall
funky feel to Ugly Aur Pagli, 'Karle Gunaah' is fun
on move even as it arrives in it's much faster
'remix version' lower down the order. |
| |
|
Yeh Nazar.. |
|
Singer(s):
Sunidhi Chauhan, Shaan |
| |
|
Now this is yet another composition that holds so
much resemblance to the kind of music that Pritam
composes, especially in the beginning portions. 'Yeh
Nazar' is third straight cool-n-funky number in a
row, which has Sunidhi Chauhan at the helm. Though
the song starts off as a Pritam tune, it has an Anu
Malik stamp all over it the moment it gets into the
'antara' portions.
While the song has an inherent melodic base to it,
it
|
|
 |
|
|
|
has been laden with all around Western arrangements
that ensures there is not a single dull moment in its four
and a half minutes duration. Shaan joins the show even as
the song is mid way through and does well in taking it
through till its completion. |
|
|
|
Shut Up, Aa Nachle!.. |
|
Singer(s):
Anu Malik, Vasundhara Das, Dibyendu Mukherjee |
|
|
It's a Spanish
beginning to 'Shut Up, Aa Nachle' with Anu Malik taking it
on himself to not just get the arrangements right but even
get behind the mike. He not just croons the Spanish part of
the song but continues to sing the rest of the song as well.
The beats that accompany the song though are straight out of
'Mukkala Muqabla' from Prabhu Deva's Humse Hai Muqabla that
was released more than a decade back.
Coming back to 'Shut Up, Aa Nachle', it is a vintage Malik
composition all the way, which is spiced up further courtesy
Vasundhara Das who is quite good in her rendition for a song
which has a mix of Spanish, Western and Punjabi mood.
Dibyendu Mukherji is heard for a brief moment as well but
the song predominantly stays on to be a Malik-Das combo
effort. Yet again, a song that aids in creating an overall
fast-paced mood of the album and turns out to be a fine
inclusion. |

|
Yaad Teri Aaye.. |
|
Singer(s):
Mohit Chauhan |
|
|
Longest song of the album arrives at the very end
and has Mohit Chauhan coming behind the mike. From
the man who has crooned some melodious tracks like 'Dooba
Dooba Rehta Hai', 'Guncha' and 'Tum Se Hi', one
doesn't expect a club outing and this is exactly the
case as 'Yaad Teri Aaye' turns out to be a
dipped-in-melody number that brings an immediate 'thehrav'
to the scheme of things in Ugly Aur Pagli.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
A track about remembering your loved one and missing
her presence in your life, 'Yaad Teri Aaye' is a very good
number that has to be played on when alone. With only a
guitar accompanying Mohit's soulful vocals, the song is a
brilliant effort by Anu Malik who gets a pure composition
rolling and makes one wonder if the industry has been unfair
to him during last couple of years by ignoring him in a big
way! A perfect finale to a fun album. |
|
|
|
What works
perfectly fine in case of Ugly Aur Pagli is that there is
not a single dull moment in this album that lasts close to
35 minutes. While club sound prevails for most part of the
album and throws one song after another that work together
in creating just the perfect ambience for this mad romantic
comedy, the ending is just perfect too with Mohit Chauhan's
'Yaad Teri Aaye' winning accolades hands down. Go for this
one and have some good times! |
